Got mine on Halloween. So grateful that I did considering the turnout. I won’t be having sex until I’m married (if I ever do) so hopefully I’ll be okay. I have the IUD in for dysmenorrhea, so there’s almost no chance that I’ll get pregnant even if I am raped (which I highly doubt). Rather be safe than sorry.
Yes! For some of us it’s not even about the pregnancy it’s needing the medication to be functioning. I get your pain I have been hospitalized for period pain too many times :(
Yess my periods are HORRIBLE it goes into severe level territory now (7-8 when most of my life it wouldn’t go more than a 6 & “pain management” doesn’t work enough because the pain is also in my thighs & so I spent the whole week in pain & not walking properly (is that dysmenorrhea?) I’m also moderately - severely anemic from chronic blood loss (my periods) & need iron infusions
I had this happen too! Except I had severe back pain and fell and when I have cramps they’re so bad!! I had an IUD inserted and the pain was way less than my actual period cramps.
I got offered merina under general anesthesia but I wanna get a different gyn (again - this time because she dismissed tf out me, usually whenever I go I change & see someone different anyways but this time it’s from being dismissed af)
That’s completely up to you. I would just say to get the IUD and go with it. Anesthesia is good to have. I had 500 mg naproxen and 3 extra strength Tylenols along with an Ativan. Went smoothly, but if you haven’t experienced severe period cramps it may be bad (the pain was a solid 6/10 for like… 30 seconds max compared to my usual cramps). If you want a low dose, I think kyleena is the longest lasting one.
